New York: Dell Publishing Company, [1944]. [1944]. - Small octavo, 6-1/2 inches high by 4-1/4 inches wide. Softcover, mass market paperback bound in sensational color pictorial wraps by Gerald Gregg. A color map of "A Portion of London - Showing Scotland Yard 'Department of Queer Complaints'" adorns the rear cover. The covers are very lightly creased with minor wear to the head and tail of the spine. 189 & [3] pages. The pages in the latter half of the book are toned. Good. First Dell edition. "Colonel March, with his mottled face, keen blue eyes, and a stubby pipe jutting out from under his gray mustache, rules supreme over D-3, the department at Scotland Yard that deals with queer complaints and queerer people." .. "When Scotland Yard comes across something outlandish, which may be a hoax or a joke but, on the other hand, may be a serious crime, they shout for Colonel March. His mind is so obvious he hits it every time. If he goes so far as to admit that a thing is a bit unusual, you can look out for squalls. It has been said that some call his department the Crazy House." [Quoted from the first page]. VERY SCARCE. Good .
